Well, looks like you are lucky there. I will not state that my problems
with cdrecord come from a "broken version". Maybe David is right in
guessing that there is a hardware incompatibility although cdrecord
doesn't mind using my Plextor. I ran a few tests with cdrecord -atip
(-toc, -checkdrive, etc.). All tests went well and gave the informations
described in the man page.
The first prob I described here (about the error while blanking a CD-RW)
might have come from the fact that this special CD-RW was burned under
windows. OK, let it be.
But then the story continues:
1.
I made try.raw with: # mkisofs -R -o try.raw /SAFE
where /SAFE is a dir with 73M of data.
I compared try.raw with /SAFE and it was ok.
Then I burned: # cdrecord -multi -v speed=2 dev=4,0 try.raw
There were no errors and I could mount the cd and copy single files from
it to the harddisk.
2.
I made try1.raw using a different dir, compared try1.raw with the origin
and then burned it on the same cd-r with the same command (just using
try1.raw instead of try.raw).

Looks like cdrecord detected the 1. track and appended the second track.
No error at all. I mounted the cd and could only see the stuff which was
on the 1. track. How do I get to see the second track? Did I miss a
chapter in the man page?
I'd like to use CD-R as backup media but do not want to waste a complete
cd-r every day (daily backup is app. 120M).
